My most successful Supers campaign was back in the 90’s. We were using Champions with a lot of Dark Champions material sprinkled in, because it was rhetorical 90s and it was Extreme!(tm) The heroes were a mix of tech and super powered characters. They had costumes but they were all very...

More seriously, Krull was a really crazy Star Wars inspired fantasy romp. I don’t know that I’d need a full game engine, but a source book for an existing rpg would be a fun read.

“YOR’S WORLD, he’s the maaaaannn.” (If you know, you know)

Yes, agreed, looks like they’ve only added new stuff but the basic game remains the same!

For those playing BattleTech, are you sticking with the older books & models or have you invested in any of the new stuff? I’m actually impressed with the new mini’s that I’ve seen, though I’ve got too many Ral-Partha ones to justify buying more. It’s cool that BattleTech seems to be enjoying a...

I still occasionally bust out BattleTech with some friends, but we don’t get to play it regularly. The last big adventure game I played was “Wizards” with a group back around 2010 or so. It took about 10 hours to play, so a running joke with them became, “Anyone up for a short game of Wizards?”

Unless the funky dice can be easily replaced by “standard” polyhedral dice, I will actively avoid any rpg that uses them. Which probably means I’ve passed up some fun games, but I don’t like them enough to come out of my lurker shell!

Both. I play with 1 live group and several online ones. The live group meets less frequently but we have longer play sessions. It’s also is my longest running group.

I found the pacing was kind of odd in the early first season and it took me a while to warm to it. I also think Season 2 was big improvement over the 1st Season.

Is this still ongoing? It looks like someone replied to a year old post.

Curse of Strahd will probably go down as “the classic” 5e module. I’d also name Witchlight as a classic, but it’s one that’s certainly not for everyone. You have to really enjoy the Feywild and Wonderland elements. Honorable mention goes to Radiant Citadel. I like the anthology style of...

Yeah, even my teenage self found the boob armor to be ridiculous. It was nice to see your strategy for the Bit o Moander (sweet and delicious with just a touch of corruption!). This always felt like the most difficult battle in the game to me. I always hoarded Hold Monster scrolls and spells...

My latest purchases were Dragonbane Core Set, the accompanying Bestiary, Fabula Ultima, and Icons super hero rpg. Trying some new things! 😁

I like Dragonbane and I think it could work, but it can be very lethal and requires a certain tactical mind to survive dangerous combats. Players will need to know when to use their action to defend vs attack, for instance. If I were going to use Dragonbane for beginners I would probably beef...

Another recommendation for Fabula Ultima. If they’re brand new to rpgs, you might consider trimming out some of the mechanics concerning bonds, particularly for a 1-shot (depends on how comfortable they are with rp’ing). Savage Worlds could work, but I’ve found the system is a little hard for...

I have 3 online groups that I play or GM with that typically meet bi-weekly for 2-hour sessions but typically I’m playing at least one of those per week. Then I have a long running live group that meets about every month-and-a-half for marathon 6-8 hour games.

I think my biggest disappointment with the second Amber series was that it left me wanting more, and sadly we would not get that.

(EDIT: Derp I replied to wrong thread.)

Appreciate the answer and clarification!

I’ll be running my first Dragonbane session here soon! A couple of gear questions I have for veteran players: Is there a discernible difference between large and small shields, other than the durability rating? I couldn’t seem to find any explanation in the rules. And with music instruments...
